Kiri asked in Family & RelationshipsWeddings · 1 decade ago

Could you help please?

Tight spot!! Need help.?

Okay this is for the dancers out there. I'm obviously not a dancer so I don't know how to choreograph however I'm planning on getting married in August. && for the attendants/wedding party dance, i want it to be a fun dance. So I was thinking the "love shack" song would be something fun to dance to. I'd like it to be choreographed for 4 guys & 4 girls. the youngest couple are 15, so it still needs to be appropriate. [I'm 20].The others are around my age, if not a lil older. I was wondering if someone would be willing to record & choreograph that song to fit those of a younger age, but still neat and exciting. You could post it on youtube or something [and make it private video]. and send me the link or something. i'd greatly appreciate it!

i don't have a whole lot of money to be spending on a dance studio to help come up with a dance since the wedding is planned sorta on the moment.

-Kiri-

i can provide e-mail if you're seriously gonna help! =]

Update:

not every dance is going to be choreographed. It's just something a little fun and different for the wedding party [bridesmaids and groomsmen] to do instead of every song being a slow dance when it comes to certain ones. every other dance involving EVERYONE will NOT be choreographed and will be "free" will dancing. just to clear it up for those who may not have understood what i was saying.

Update 2:

&& i'll obviously ask them before the wedding. I'm not going to make someone do something they won't want to do. && if they don't' want to do this dance then they'll just dance to a slow song.

    I agree with the first answer. It seems over the top and IMO, might look more like a high school dance than a wedding. And the comment about dance rehearsal is also a key factor. Do you 'require' your attendents to participate in this dance? What if they are just too busy, or plain uncomfortable with the idea. What if they also feel it's too cutesy for a wedding?

    Skip the dance altogether. Savor the special moment with your new husband, and let each couple enjoy their own style of dancing.

    You didn't say where you are located or I could probably help you more. There are a lot of student choreographers at your local college that could put something together without a problem and at no expense to you. Also you can check a local theatre group as well. I am a choreographer but I wouldn't be able to do a youtube video. Send me your email and maybe we can figure out something for you and your bridal party that is age appropriate and fun!!!

    I wouldn't choreograph a dance for the wedding party. First of all, they probably don't want to dance together anyway, especially the younger ones. I wouldn't do a wedding party dance at all. They are usually awkward because the people don't know each other well and don't really want to be dancing with each other. The bridal party dance is one that is being omitted from more and more weddings. Hopefully one day, it will be abolished altogether. That's more something from the 70's than the 21st century.

    Plus, if you aren't a dancer, who is going to teach the choreography to your wedding party and when are you going to find the time to get them all together for practice sessions and rehearsals? Remember wedding party members have lives of their own that are already busy. They are taking time off to be in your wedding not learn how to dance in addition to being in the wedding.

    Well, I think your idea is great even if others don't. I don't think they quite got the concept of the dance being like a surprise, fun thing for the other guests. I say you should definitely do it, in case these people's negativity was swaying you away from doing it. I can't dance either unfortunately, but I do have an idea. You should find out if your local high school has a dance team and see if maybe they could help you out with something interesting. Good luck and I hope it works out, it sounds like a lot of fun!!

    That sounds like a very fun idea! I love the youtube videos of brides and grooms that do a choreographed dance. :)

    I however am rhythmless, so... :)

    Good Luck and Happy Planning!!

    Why are you trying to choreograph the dancing at your reception? Are you gonna have a dance rehersal so they all get the steps right? This is taking micro managing a wedding to the Nth degree. Relax and just play the music. People can dance the way they want, that is what is gonna make it fun, not worrying about getting your choreographed steps right? Let this one go.

    I would back out of a wedding if a bride asked me to do something like that.
